McLuhan

In the process of doing too much research for a CL49 thesis, I keep coming
across references to Marshall McLuhan.  I know a little about his ideas,
but there is a conspiracy here to keep me from reading his books.  In the
library, of the books I'm interested in looking at, 2 are checked out and
one is missing, the local new and used bookstores don't carry it, and all
my Sociology friends don't own it.  My main interest is in "The Medium is
the Message" (if that's the name of it), so if anyone knows of anyone works
that focus on the McLuhan-Pynchon correlation, or can give me a summary of
McLuhan's theories as they pertain to Pynchon/CL49, I'll give you a
footnote in the paper.  E-mail to the group or to me, personally, as you
see fit.
Thank you.
